I tried re-creating this OOPS but am unable to do so now after applying Herbert's patch. Also, over the weekend, I upgraded from linux-2.6.0- test1 (bk) to linux-2.6.0-test2 (bk). So the test bed itself has changed a bit and the only thing that I can report conclusively is that a kernel based on 2.6.0-test2 + Herbert's patch definitely does not crash the way 2.6.0-test1 did. I tried rebooting with and without heavy IPSec traffic, with and without tethereal running. I do have yet another OOPS to report, but I am trying to capture the OOPS backtrace. This one happens in case of a misconfiguration (tunnel mode ESP on one side and transport mode ESP on the other). Once I am able to recreate it successfully and capture the OOPS, I'll post it in a seperate thread. thanks, Ranjeet. -- Ranjeet Shetye Senior Software Engineer Zultys Technologies Ranjeet dot Shetye2 at Zultys dot com http://www.zultys.com/ -- The views, opinions, and judgements expressed in this message are solely those of the author.
